This place was for sure very nice 20 years ago, however, it is not much done after the start. One big advantage of the hotel is that it is much cheaper then all similar hotels in that expensive area. It is located in very small city of Desert Hot Springs. There is nothing much there apart of several pools, which...

We really enjoyed our stay at this Hotel, the pools are old but great and the restaurant is really not bad at all. The rooms are comfy with pretty firm beds. I do not understand the bad reviews, how can you complain at these prices. I am sure that you can find more luxurious accommodations but not at this price....

Thanks for your review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your weekend getaway. We agree that the live band Jonny Kaplan and The Lazy Stars (with world-famous members) was very special. Next time you visit, please consider trying our Italian restaurant next door at Miracle Springs -- serving classic Italian dishes, hand-made desserts, and wine. Or, perhaps try some...

I stayed at DHS in 2007… ( I have a review ).. At that time I mentioned it was not the best place on earth but for what I got I was ok. I look now, some 7 to 8 years later and I keep seeing the same complaints. Bad AC. Beds are bad. Smoking. Cigarette burns. Cracks. Too many...

Thanks for your review. The DHS Spa Hotel is not a cookie-cutter in a hotel chain with enormous budgets -- it is a charming, unique, boutique hotel that is family-owned and operated. This historic property is a rich part of the Coachella Valley's history. It takes time, planning, and resources to restore a landmark to its original grandeur. The owners...

I chose this as it's the oldest Spa hotel in the area with good facilities open 24 hrs and clean.
The hotel itself is a little tired, with some poor choices in renovation however, the pools are clean and the location quiet and fabulous views of the mountains and both sunrise and sunsets. The staff were all very friendly and...

Even though I knew this was a mid century property I was really surprised by the overall condition. The rooms were fairly clean but in very poor condition. Missing mirrors', missing knobs on cabinets and first room we had the tv didn't work.. Moved to a second room and the shower didn't work. One pool was too hot as someone...

Very dated clean facility. Several hot tubs, jacuzzi, pools. Day wrist band, day room, or overnight. All shapes, ages, and sizes enjoying a relaxing time. Quad two story facility. Upper rooms offer more seclusion. For easy, quick access to pools the bottom floor has glass sliding doors, patio chairs, and a wrought iron gate. Microwave and small fridge in room....

This is a great day trip. They charge a small fee for day use, you can also rent a room for longer stays. There are like 8 pools of different temps. All natural minerals in the water which they test hourly. There is a restaurant and bar on site, and a co-ed sauna. This place is perfect for unwinding and...

We ended a week spent camping at Joshua Tree with a "splurge" staying at Desert Hot Springs Spa Hotel. The rate was reasonable, perhaps as we were there midweek, and we very much appreciated they now allow dogs (at no extra charge). We'd not have stayed there if there had not been an pet-friendly option.
Our room 225 was a...

If you want to stay in a really cool MadMen-esque type environment with nice staff and well maintained mineral hot springs, mingle with locals and families from the area as well as non-snobby other tourists, eat inexpensive diner food, maybe enjoy some cover bands and watch the sunset while you sit in a nice warm bath, this is the place...

What a clean and relaxing place to be in the healing waters. I highly recommend for a few nights to stay here. The food is great in the cafe and the service is good also. The rooms are very clean and the bed is comfortable. The healing waters of the 5 different pools are open all the time. The minerals...
